Dean Polsin
August 11, 1959 — April 5, 2023
Dean Polsin, 63, passed away at home on Wednesday April 5th, 2023 after a long battle with kidney cancer. His family was by his side at the time of death.
Dean was born in August of 1959 in New York. He was the middle of three sons. He is survived by his parents, Edward and Giustina (Venditti) Polsin, two brothers, Chris and Michael Polsin, his wife, Susan (Stefanowski) Polsin, and two children, Alex (Zach) Weeks and Benjamin Polsin.
Visitation Sunday, April 16th, 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm at the Countryside Funeral Home and Crematory 950 South Bartlett Rd. (at Stearns Rd.) Bartlett. Funeral Monday, April 17th, beginning with 10:00 am prayers at the funeral home and processing to Saint Peter Damian Church. Mass 10:30 am. Cremation will be private at the Countryside Crematory.
He was dedicated to helping others, which was apparent in both his personal and professional life.
During his early life he lived in many places and made many friends along the way. He spent several years in Ohio, where he grew passionate about football, specifically The Ohio State Buckeyes (Go Bucks!). He played in high school and continued his connection with the sport by coaching his son’s youth team. He started his 8-year involvement with the Bartlett Raiders as an assistant coach, and proudly finished as the head coach of the 2011 Super Bowl champion team.
He began his career at Roper Technologies in 1978 before moving to California where he worked for QCI International. While employed with QCI he led a training seminar in Chicago, where he met the love of his life. He soon moved to Chicago, married Susan, and built a life with their dog Max, daughter Alex, and son Benjamin. In 2004 he was hired by WMS Gaming, which later merged with Scientific Games. He was first diagnosed with kidney cancer in the summer of 2014 & had his kidney removed two weeks later, at which point he was considered cancer-free. In 2016, he began working for Kohler in Wisconsin shortly before learning the cancer had spread to his lungs, classifying it as stage IV. He retired in 2022 so he could spend more time with family. Despite his valiant fight, he lost the battle on April 5th.
He will be in our hearts and thoughts forever.
